[Tigers] Pertronix / MSD Coil

[Ron Fraser]

Tom
	I think you need to talk to Pertronix about your situation or go to
their web site to see what they say.  You may also want to check the MSD web
site to see if they show your combination and how to install it correctly.

	Some of this is determined by which Pertronix module you are going
to use.  I have a Pertronix I unit with a ballast resistor. This is the way
the Pertronix installation instructions show to install this unit.  The
instructions also state that the voltage to the Pertronix I unit can not be
less than 6V with the ballast resistor.

	I believe the Pertonix II and III modules require a constant 12V to
operate correctly; no ballast resistor.  This is where you need the Pertonix
instructions to confirm that statement.

Not a Tiger application in my case - but..., I know  quite a few of the
Tiger folks are running the Pertronix ignition module ( the original version
in my case). Are any of you running the MSD Blaster 2 coil (8203)?  I am not
planning to use the MSD box, only the Pertronix and the MSD coil.  I've read
on the internet where some have no issues at all. However, there are those
who say that Pertonix told them NOT to use the MSD coil.

So, it is a bit confusing. If you have had success with the combination I'm
planning, I'd like to hear from you.  Also, I'd like to know if you use a
ballast resistor.  MSD says the resistor, .8 ohms, is only needed for
points.

Thanks, Tom
